Default pfil 2.1.11 blocks IPv6 traffic.

Hi,

I have compiled both pfil2.1.11 and ipfilter 4.1.14 with USE_INET6
defined. IPv4 filtering works great. But when i try to plumb pfil onto
any IPv6 interface the traffic is instantly blocked, and the ping
returns "ICMPv6 Address Unreachable from gateway"

When i tried the following command,

root@pp45buce01# ndd /dev/pfil pfil_inet4
in
function flags
out
function flags
root@pp45buce01# ndd /dev/pfil pfil_inet6
in
function flags
out
function flags
root@pp45buce01#

the functions are empty.

When i ping from one system to another IPv6 interface, after
installing ipfilter 4.1.14, ipfstat shows
1. No of IPv6 packets keeps on increasing
2. No of blocked packets keeps on increasing
3. No of IPF Ticks keep increasing

I am using a 64 bit Sparc machine with solaris running on it.

If anybody has found a solution of faced the same problem, kindly
help me out.

- Manik
